Struct Lock

Unified representation of monitor lock, semaphore lock, read lock, write lock or upgradeable read lock.

Implements

IDisposable

IEquatable<Lock>

Inherited Members

Object.Equals(Object, Object)

Object.GetType()

Object.ReferenceEquals(Object, Object)

Namespace: DotNext.Threading

Assembly: DotNext.dll

Syntax

public struct Lock : IDisposable, IEquatable<Lock>

Remarks

The lock acquisition may block the caller thread.

Methods

Acquire()

Acquires lock.

Declaration

public Lock.Holder Acquire()

Returns

Type	Description
Lock.Holder	The holder of the acquired lock.

Acquire(TimeSpan)

Acquires lock.

Declaration

public Lock.Holder Acquire(TimeSpan timeout)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TimeSpan	timeout	The amount of time to wait for the lock.

Returns

Type	Description
Lock.Holder	The holder of the acquired lock.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
TimeoutException	The lock has not been acquired during the specified timeout.

Dispose()

Destroy this lock and dispose underlying lock object if it is owned by the given lock.

Declaration

public void Dispose()

Remarks

If the given lock is an owner of the underlying lock object then this method will call Dispose() on it; otherwise, the underlying lock object will not be destroyed. As a result, this lock is not usable after calling of this method.

Equals(Lock)

Determines whether this lock object is the same as other lock.

Declaration

public bool Equals(Lock other)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Lock	other	Other lock to compare.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if this lock is the same as the specified lock; otherwise, false.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether this lock object is the same as other lock.

Declaration

public override bool Equals(object other)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Object	other	Other lock to compare.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if this lock is the same as the specified lock; otherwise, false.

Overrides

ValueType.Equals(Object)

GetHashCode()

Computes hash code of this lock.

Declaration

public override int GetHashCode()

Returns

Type	Description
Int32	The hash code of this lock.

Overrides

ValueType.GetHashCode()

Monitor()

Creates exclusive lock.

Declaration

public static Lock Monitor()

Returns

Type	Description
Lock	The exclusive lock.

Remarks

Constructed lock owns the object instance used as a monitor.

Monitor(Object)

Creates monitor-based lock control object but doesn't acquire the lock.

Declaration

public static Lock Monitor(object obj)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Object	obj	Monitor lock target.

Returns

Type	Description
Lock	The lock representing monitor.

ReadLock(ReaderWriterLockSlim, Boolean)

Creates read lock but doesn't acquire it.

Declaration

public static Lock ReadLock(ReaderWriterLockSlim rwLock, bool upgradeable)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ReaderWriterLockSlim	rwLock	Read/write lock source.
Boolean	upgradeable	true to create upgradeable read lock wrapper.

Returns

Type	Description
Lock	Reader lock.

Semaphore(Int32, Int32)

Creates semaphore-based lock but doesn't acquire the lock.

Declaration

public static Lock Semaphore(int initialCount, int maxCount)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Int32	initialCount	The initial number of requests for the semaphore that can be granted concurrently.
Int32	maxCount	The maximum number of requests for the semaphore that can be granted concurrently.

Returns

Type	Description
Lock	The lock representing semaphore.

Remarks

Constructed lock owns the semaphore instance.

Semaphore(SemaphoreSlim)

Wraps semaphore instance into the unified representation of the lock.

Declaration

public static Lock Semaphore(SemaphoreSlim semaphore)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
SemaphoreSlim	semaphore	The semaphore to wrap into lock object.

Returns

Type	Description
Lock	The lock representing semaphore.

ToString()

Returns actual type of this lock in the form of the string.

Declaration

public override string ToString()

Returns

Type	Description
String	The actual type of this lock.

Overrides

ValueType.ToString()

TryAcquire(out Lock.Holder)

Attempts to acquire lock.

Declaration

public bool TryAcquire(out Lock.Holder holder)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Lock.Holder	holder	The lock holder that can be used to release acquired lock.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if lock is acquired successfully; otherwise, false.

TryAcquire(TimeSpan, out Lock.Holder)

Attempts to acquire lock.

Declaration

public bool TryAcquire(TimeSpan timeout, out Lock.Holder holder)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TimeSpan	timeout	The amount of time to wait for the lock.
Lock.Holder	holder	The lock holder that can be used to release acquired lock.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if lock is acquired successfully; otherwise, false.

WriteLock(ReaderWriterLockSlim)

Creates write lock but doesn't acquire it.

Declaration

public static Lock WriteLock(ReaderWriterLockSlim rwLock)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ReaderWriterLockSlim	rwLock	Read/write lock source.

Returns

Type	Description
Lock	Write-only lock.

Operators

Equality(Lock, Lock)

Determines whether two locks are the same.

Declaration

public static bool operator ==(in Lock first, in Lock second)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Lock	first	The first lock to compare.
Lock	second	The second lock to compare.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if both are the same; otherwise, false.
